So on say 5 posts every thread it goes like this:

I went for a walk one sunny day and it was was cold...

So the last word of the line is repeated as the first word of the next line. First time I saw it I thought it was someone typing an error, but Ive seen it on lots of posts now.

Any ideas?

Hi FuppyGish,

Could you possibly link to some thread posts where this is happening, and if possible, tell us which browser you are using? Would be most helpful in tracking down the error.

Hi FuppyGish. This is pretty strange. Which browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, are the most likely) and version are you using?

GooseyLoosey · 02/03/2011 09:50

Just to say it has happened to me a few times in recent days as well. I use IE.

DamianTech · 02/03/2011 09:53

Do you know which version? It should show up if you go to the Help menu and choose "About Internet Explorer".

GooseyLoosey · 02/03/2011 09:54

Version 7

CalamityKate · 02/03/2011 09:55

I haven't noticed haven't noticed anything.

DamianTech · 02/03/2011 10:39

Okay, this seems to be a bug with IE 7, I've put in a fix for it that should go live soon. If you see it happening in browsers other than Internet Explorer 7, please let us know. :)

GooseyLoosey · 02/03/2011 11:47

Thanks. Dh always says I should use Firefox - perhaps he's right!

FuppyGish · 02/03/2011 14:38

mines IE version 7 too.

I just noticed this today - was quite freaked out!
Not sure what browser, but should this be fixed by now?

DamianTech · 18/03/2011 09:55

I thought it was... Can you please find out what browser and version you're using? Commonly found in the Help menu, under "About" or "About

StealthPolarBear · 18/03/2011 13:01

Hi, it;s IE6
Sorry I couldn't tell you yesterday I was at work when I noticed it but at home when I posted about it

DamianTech · 18/03/2011 14:28

Well that's definitely strange. Could you post up what threads you noticed on, if you remember any? Would be very helpful.

StealthPolarBear · 22/03/2011 12:12

this is one on this thread

StealthPolarBear · 22/03/2011 12:25

trying to upload a picture but it won't let me, is there a problem with the picture uploader?
Anyway, the word 'child?' appears at the end of the top line and the bginning ofthe second. When I go to highlight the one on the top line won't highlight with the rest of them as it's not really 'there'

DamianTech · 22/03/2011 13:27

I'm afraid I can't seem to replicate this. Here is how it appears on that thread.

I've added the fix that was put in place for IE7 to IE6 as well, which may help matters. That will take effect on the next release. If you can find any other example in the mean time, please let us know.

StealthPolarBear · 22/03/2011 13:34

I will do but it's not a huge problem as far as I'm concerned, just interesting!

FjorgynAndHotWater · 22/03/2011 21:42

This has been happening to me too and I use Firefox!
